03

Download each AVIF, or several together as one ZIP.
PNG
PNG is a lossless image format with full transparency support, the usual choice for graphics, screenshots and editing copies.
AVIF
AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec, giving much smaller files than JPG at similar quality.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so re-saving never degrades it. It supports full alpha transparency and 8 or 16 bits per channel, which makes it the standard for logos, UI graphics, screenshots and images that will be edited again. Photos as PNG are much larger than the same photo as JPG.
TARGET
The Alliance for Open Media released AVIF in 2019. It stores images with AV1 compression, supports transparency, HDR and 10 or 12-bit color, and typically produces files around half the size of a comparable JPG. Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari show it, but many editors, CMS plugins and older devices still can't.

TROUBLESHOOTING
AVIF is new, so support varies.
01
Older software, some CMS plugins and print services don't support AVIF yet. Keep the original for those.
02
Very old browsers lack AVIF support. Use a picture element with a JPG or WebP fallback.
03
AV1 compression is slower than JPG or WebP, especially for large images.
04
Lossy AVIF usually stores color at a lower resolution than brightness, which can soften small, strongly colored details.
05
Lossy AVIF can soften very fine text in screenshots. Keep PNG for pixel-perfect UI images.
06
Check the PNG opens normally before converting.
Photoshop, GIMP, Preview and Paint can re-save images once installed. dragdropdo converts PNG to AVIF in the browser, on any device.
